Christian Coleman, Ackeem Blake, and Fred Kerley set for thrilling clash among global track stars in May, promising record performances.

The trio of Christian Coleman, Ackeem Blake, and Fred Kerley are set to headline an electrifying match-up at the Jamaica Athletics Invitational on May 11 at the National Stadium in Kingston.

Coleman is looking to assert his dominance on the track once again after a series of stunning performances in 100m for the past few weeks.

Joining him is Jamaica's own Ackeem Blake, a rising star in sprinting who has rapidly ascended in the ranks with his explosive speed and charisma.

Rounding out the trio is American sprinter Fred Kerley, whose versatility and power make him a formidable opponent in any sprinting event.

Marvin Anderson, the Athlete's Liaison, has been instrumental in assembling a star-studded cast for this inaugural event. 

This high-stakes race is part of a larger lineup featuring 10 track events and four field events.

Alongside the headlining trio, notable figures such as Marie-Josee Ta Lou, Antonio Watson, and Zharnel Hughes will also compete.

 The inclusion of such a diverse and accomplished group of athletes ensures that the Jamaica Athletics Invitational will be a landmark event in the world of track and field.

Tickets for this anticipated event went on sale online on April 22 and the buzz around the event has been growing ever since.
